Phase One

Audit — establish
exactly where you stand.

Every project begins with the truth. I run an exhaustive analysis of your website's technical health, content, authority profile and competitive landscape — then quantify the gap between where you are and where you could rank. No assumptions, no templated checklists. Just a clear, prioritised baseline.

What happens
  • Full technical & crawl audit
  • Content & on-page analysis
  • Backlink & authority profile review
  • Competitor & SERP landscape mapping
  • Keyword opportunity & demand sizing
  • Baseline KPI snapshot

OutcomeA factual baseline everyone agrees on

Phase Two

Strategy — a roadmap
with no ambiguity.

Data without a plan is just noise. I translate the audit into a prioritised roadmap: which actions, in which order, with what expected impact and on what timeline. Quick wins first, foundational work in parallel, big bets sequenced. You approve the plan before a single hour of execution begins.

What happens
  • Prioritised action roadmap
  • Measurable goals & KPI targets
  • Impact & effort estimates per action
  • Keyword & content strategy
  • Quick-win identification
  • Roadmap review & sign-off call

Phase Three

Execution — real work,
shipped every month.

This is where most SEO falls apart — endless decks, nothing implemented. Not here. I do the work: technical fixes, optimised content, authority building. Where your team handles implementation, I provide exact specs and stay on it until it ships. Momentum every single month, never a stalled backlog.

What happens
  • Technical fixes & implementation
  • Content production & optimisation
  • Link building & digital PR
  • On-page & internal-linking work
  • Developer-ready specs where needed
  • Ongoing Slack communication

Phase Four

Results — measured,
reported, refined.

SEO isn't done when work ships — it's done when it moves the numbers that matter. Every month you get a transparent report tied to real KPIs: traffic, rankings, conversions and, where possible, revenue. We read the data together, decide what to double down on, and feed it straight back into the roadmap.

What happens
  • Monthly KPI reporting
  • Ranking & traffic trend analysis
  • Conversion & revenue attribution
  • Data-driven roadmap adjustment
  • Review call & next-steps alignment
  • Continuous optimisation loop
